Separation Pay : Legal basis to challenge computation

My department will be redundated within 30 days. We are given a separation pay of 1 month for every year of service. However, another department 6 years ago was aldo redundated, but they were given 1.5 mos. Can we demand / file a case with DOLE given that there was a precedent before for a higher separation pay? Note: The company is in good financial condition.
